So finally i've got some time before class to pop up some photos of our lovely apartment for all Facebook deprived people to check out. (Put up an album on Facebook if you're that way inclined)
Many weeks ago now we held our House warming or in German 'Einweihungsparty'. It was quite the scrumptuous dessert party where everyone had to bring a plate of dessert or something of the sort. We ate and drank ourselves many times full of all sorts of fruit and cream filled goodies and have pasted some photos of the crew who came.
The apartment itself is in Kreuzberg, right near the metro station Schlesisches Tor smack bang in the middle of alternative club and bar territory for Berlin. The train line really is a party line, coming home from anywhere late in the evening and i'm always accompanied by large groups of young revellers swinging their Becks with lemon and lime all over the train. A rather special thing about this city is that its legal to drink alcohol on the street. Bit confronting at first when you're constantly passing people downing prosecco in groups but most of the time I don't notice any more and it's quite nice to walk around with a beer on your way to a friends place.
So it's a given that there will always be people around and I feel quite safe most of the time even late at night on my own.
The graffitti in this part of Berlin is fantastic as well, some of the building long pieces are really famous and it makes the whole place fun and colourful i find.
have to get to class - hope all's going well!
Our furnished bedroom - yay for curtains, I made them!
